Can not log into proxmox web panel, but can login via console

So . . .

Suddenly in the last week or so (I don't check on my home server much b/c it 'just works') I now get 'Login Failed' on the web interface, and 'access denied' on ssh. But same account/password works if I plug a monitor in & login on the physical machine.

Other than updates I have NO clue what's changed.

This is using the root acct (Yea, I know, but you'd have to be physically at my house to get in that way).

But a std user account (George) can ssh in, but can't log into the web interface. Also, an account I made to test web interface permissions (Henry) (has permissions to just ONE vm) can't log in via the web interface either. Also, Henry can't ssh in (no surprise, I expected this).

So . . . any idea what's borked?

since you can login locally, check the system logs for any failed services, warnings or errors. the denied ssh access might be caused by changes you did to the ssh server configuration (check the "PermitRootLogin" option in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config", the default on Proxmox VE is "yes")

(check the "PermitRootLogin" option in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config", the default on Proxmox VE is "yes")

That was the first thing I checked - it wasn't in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, so I added it.

Something else to note, I discovered I can get to the web interface from OUTSIDE my network - but ssh is blocked as it should be.

So . . . that's strange. I think it's a routing issue on my pfsense vm now. I'll verify by putting my daily machine on the same subnet as the ProxMox later today.
